Los Flamingos area guide
A master-planned golf estate in Benahavís
Los Flamingos is one of the most established master-planned golf communities within the Benahavís municipality. Positioned above the New Golden Mile between Marbella and Estepona, it offers structured infrastructure, gated sub-communities and long-term planning — characteristics that distinguish it from more organic hillside developments.
Buyers exploring Los Flamingos Benahavís property are typically drawn to its combination of golf identity, Villa Padierna prestige and controlled development environment. It is neither ultra-private estate living nor unstructured hillside housing — instead, it sits confidently in the organised luxury resort category.
Location & coastal access
Typical drive times include:
- Beaches (New Golden Mile) — approx. 5–10 minutes
- Puerto Banús — approx. 15–20 minutes
- Marbella centre — approx. 20–25 minutes
- Málaga Airport — approx. 45–55 minutes
Everyday amenities are accessible via Cancelada and the New Golden Mile, including supermarkets, cafés, beach clubs and essential services. Benahavís village remains easily reachable inland for dining, while Marbella and Estepona provide broader retail and marina infrastructure.
Golf, lake and Villa Padierna
At the heart of the community is Los Flamingos Golf Club, an 18-hole championship course designed by Antonio García Garrido. The course integrates lakes, elevated tees and open Mediterranean views, shaping much of the residential positioning.
Adjacent to the fairways, the Villa Padierna Palace Hotel provides five-star hospitality, spa facilities and fine dining. This association enhances the estate’s prestige and reinforces its international buyer appeal.
Sub-communities & elevation nuance
Los Flamingos includes multiple gated enclaves, each with distinct characteristics. Apartment communities such as Royal Flamingos and Four Seasons are typically positioned around golf and lake views, while elevated villa plots capture broader sea panoramas.
Higher elevations command stronger Mediterranean outlooks, while lower sectors closer to the golf course offer immediate fairway proximity. As with most Benahavís hillside developments, orientation and plot positioning significantly influence privacy and value.
Property types & architectural style
Property for sale in Los Flamingos ranges from contemporary new-build villas to established Mediterranean-style homes and high-quality apartment residences. Villas typically feature private pools, landscaped plots and elevated terraces, while apartments prioritise security, views and lock-and-leave convenience.
Price positioning
Apartments in Los Flamingos generally begin from approximately €450,000–€1,000,000+, depending on views and specification. Villa pricing typically ranges from around €1,500,000 to €6,000,000+, with prime sea-view plots commanding higher premiums.
Compared with ultra-prime estates such as La Zagaleta, entry pricing remains more accessible, while offering stronger infrastructure than many standalone hillside villas elsewhere in the municipality.
Year-round practicality
Los Flamingos works well for permanent living as well as second-home ownership. International schools commonly used in this corridor include Atalaya International College and Laude San Pedro International College, both within practical driving distance.
Investment outlook
